Hi.
You mentioned "Linux render farm". Why?
You are submitting jobs from Windows?

"hou.OperationFailed: The attempted operation failed"
This message from some internal exception.
This message definitely not from CGRU code.
For example, set camera lens to zero, you will see this exception.
Why i asked about platform:
Most our artists submit jobs from windows, most our farm hosts are linux.
When they specify some windows path, starting from drive letter, for example, farm machine can't load sources.
For example import camera from alembic with a path staring with a drive letter, you will got "hou.OperationFailed: The attempted operation failed".
As lens expression evaluation will fail.

What i want to say.
Look at the difference between artists and farm machine. Difference can be anywhere, different users can have different environment. May be some cache fails to load.

Try to examine command w/o afanasy (afrender).
- open terminal
- ssh render_hostname
- sudo - render (or other user you running afrender by)
- cd ... /cgru ( goto CGRU root folder )
- source "./setup.sh ( setup CGRU environment for afrender user )
- copy & paste task command
What will happen?
